Day 7

Ellie: Today was Sunday and we had a really good experience at church. We walked to the Stake Center and sort of surprised the Bishop when he walked in because there were 69 of us and we had talked to the Stake President about us being there but not the Bishop. Church started 25 minutes late...for no apparent reason, except that the Bishop hadn't even showed up yet! ha ha! Things are much slower paced in South America. We had planned to sing "Lead Kindly Light" during Sacrament so we were all there ready to sing - it went really well. The men in our group that could speak Spanish sang the first verse in Spanish and then the women did the second verse in Spanish and we all did the third verse in English. The congregation loved it. We also had brought some Book of Mormons with us and gave them to the missionaries who told us it was a miracle we had brought them because they hadn't had Book of Mormons to pass out for two weeks! It was a great day, even though I couldn't understand much of the meeting at church.
This is a pic of Andrew, Ellie & I with Dr. Nantu after church. She is pretty tiny, as you can tell! Or...we're just giants!

After church some of our group went on a bike ride but Lindsey and I weren't feeling so great so we went back to our matrimony room and watched Transformers with a friend of ours to try to feel better and take it easy. Isn't that what Sunday afternoons are for anyways?
